Today’s interview’s slightly different in that instead of zeroing in on a single film, we’re looking at four very different pieces from director Mike Chan’s body of work, to get a feel for the variety of projects he creates with his regular team of collaborators; including experiments with photocopiers in Distortion, duelling Ping Pong playing TVs, Mods vs Rockers dancing chair fantasies in Biker Mike and Auto Pilot, a playful giant gorilla attack disaster music video for The Mount Cherries.
